If I want to file bankruptcy, but I have credit cards that are in good standing, do I need to include those credit cards?

Answered by attorney D. Nathan Davis (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Davis Law Firm
You must include all debt that you owe when file for bankruptcy. If you have a credit card with a zero balance, you do not have to list it. However, it is likely that the credit card will be cancelled. Almost all of the creditors use a service that reports filings by social security number. Creditors register and get notice of the filing immediately. You need to talk to an attorney to make sure of your rights. You need to understand that filing bankruptcy is not about keeping credit, but, getting a "fresh start".

What happens if my chapter 13 bankruptcy is dismissed?

Answered by attorney Austin M Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
I assume that you used your tax refund to pay bills. If there was an order in the Chapter 13 case requiring you to pay your tax refund to the Chapter 13 Trustee and you spent the money before you got the letter, your attorney should contact the Trustee and work out a plan to pay the money that you were required to turn over to the Trustee. It doesn't make any sense to me that you received a letter on June 30th requiring you to make a payment on July 1st. If the case gets dismissed, you can refile if this was not something that was calculated to avoid paying the Trustee. You may have to amend the plan that was filed or get some other relief from the Chapter 13 Trustee or the Bankruptcy Court. Without knowing all of the facts, it is difficult to give you the best advice regarding the problem.
